Mattress Cover

[Failure2Stop]

Shoot at enough stuff and you will see that weird stuff happens and sometimes weird little bits of reality can do weird stuff to a bullet.
So, sure, a mattress might slow or alter the path of an incoming round enough to protect someone, but I wouldn't count on it.

Not to stir the pot but my wife went crazy(i wasnt there) and bought an expensive matress. 8 to 9 inches of memory foam i wonder how that would differ. I sure as hell wont be holding my breath on the other side.

Not to mention multiple rounds. I'd consider other options.

I had a friend in high school who had an ND while sitting cross legged on my bed. The 9mm bullet went straight through the area just below and between his big toe and second toe, through the mattress, box spring, and gouged the wooden floor of my room.

If a mattress ever deflected a round, it would be pure luck, or coincidence, and I certainly doubt it would do it twice...

A friend of mine ND'd through a mattress with a G19. The FMJ went through the mattress and the box spring, under the carpet for about 15 feet, skipped up and went through an interior wall and through an entertainment center, eventually lodging halfway through the first side of another wall.
